<p>What schools, besides for UC Berkeley, offers an undergraduate degree in public health?</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins and UNC have the best.</p>

<p>Arizona, SDSU, Tulane, U Mass-Amherst, USF (in FL), USC-Columbia, and Washington (UW, not WUStL) also have undergraduate programs.</p>

<p>Of course, a BA/BS in public health is not necessary to go into the field. Many public health officials and scientists have undergraduate degrees in subjects like chemistry, microbiology, or even zoology, and a MPH is often encouraged in any case.</p>

<p>University of Rochester does too.</p>

<p>Thanks guys!</p>

<p>Brown, especially if you’re interested in epidemiology.</p>

<p>I meant to say earlier that you can’t do much better than Emory. </p>

<p>With the CDC (and many of its researchers teaching at the university) and the American Cancer Society literally next door, there is no better place for hands-on opportunities.</p>

<p>Duke is very public policy/public health oriented. There are speakers almost everyday (and it clouds my email fhdsgha).</p>

<p>If you want to practice public health as a professional, it is better to major in a core subject (life sciences, social sciences, global health studies, etc.) and later apply to MPH programs. Most employers nowadays are preferring the master’s degree.</p>
